Interesting problems in history; geographic information systems and global positions systems: skills, drills and mapping; geometry- art connection; exploring polyhedral; hiking the canyon; astronomy; probability; sports science; pentomino pursuit; and survivor science were among the activities that high school juniors from across the state recently took part in during the “Rising Scholars in Math and Science” session at Black Hills State University.

This four-day summer enrichment session was designed for South Dakota high school juniors who have a strong interest in math and science. Participants in this program interact with faculty members, teachers, and a select number of their peers. The students also have the opportunity to make new friends with peers with similar interests and talents.

Coordinated by the BHSU Center for the Advancement of Mathematics and Science Education (CAMSE), the Rising Scholars program utilizes a team of mathematicians, scientists, educators, and local artists to create an enriching and educational four day experience for the students.
